Master's Degrees in Nuclear Engineering
Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in Engineering Sciences with Nuclear Engineering This M.Sc. focuses on the optimisation of nuclear reactor design. This degree thus focuses more on the so-called “hard-core” skills such as using mathematics, physics, and computer simulations to improve nuclear reactor designs. For enrolment in the Master's…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/nuclear-engineering/doctoral-degree-phd-nuclear-engineering
Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Nuclear Engineering
The Ph.D. is a pure research degree which follows on one of the Nuclear Masters degrees. Some of the research topics that students can choose from are: Multiphysics Analysis Uncertainty Propagation Accident Tolerant Fuels Regulatory Research The promoters that students can approach are found here. For enrollment in the Ph.D…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/nuclear-engineering/funding

Our programs are designed to reduce your study costs Normally enrolling for a full course load would imply that the student will have two move to Potchefstroom and be in the office each workday during offove hours. This obviously brings the large cost of paying for accommodation in Potchefstroom. However, we deliberately designed our PGDip…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/nuclear-engineering/how-can-i-enroll-my-nuclear-engineering-studies
How can I enroll for my Nuclear Engineering studies?
Before enrolling, it is crucial to find out what is cooking, e.g. which of the two PGDips will be most valuable to you. The standard point of contact for the PGDip is to phone, WhatsApp or email our postgraduate programme leader, Prof. Dawid Serfontein at 082 787 2909. For a Masters or PhD, first contact the Study Leader…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/nuclear-engineering/history-nuclear-engineering
History of Nuclear Engineering
Initial nuclear exuberance: Too cheap to meter (!) Click here to learn about the initial limitless expectations people had for nuclear power. The nuclear industry brought to its knees by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster During the early years, nuclear engineers believed that nuclear power plants were so safe that it was…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/nuclear-engineering
